You Drew Lyrics

Ken Stringfellow You Drew

Take the baby's cane away and hide his little braces
Left to his devices he still wants that rocky road
Feed him all your fables and your periodic tables
Fablous, a fatalist, is what he wants to be

But you drew the poison from me
Picked me off the bayonet tree
Pulled me like a tooth that kept your nights from
finding sleep

Move into a bungalow and disconnect the phone line
Hello, grace, it's been awhile
Your footsteps can go unnoticed
That's not to say that you weren't missed
But I guess you weren't invited
I never lacked for company
It's for care that I was wanting

But you drew the poison from me
Picked me off the bayonet tree
Pulled me like a snaggled little loose tooth
It's these late admissions that are driving me from
sleep

I admit that I admire admiration's name
But if you come back to my senses I won't try to reason
with you
Knowledge gained is knowledge used, it never works out
different

But you drew the poison from me
Picked me off the bayonet tree
Pulled me like a snaggled little loose tooth
